Role
Who you are
- Demonstrated experience architecting quality practices within mobile and cross‑platform environments
- Deep knowledge of test automation frameworks (e.g., XCUITest, Espresso, Cypress, Playwright) and test pyramid principles
- Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines and enabling continuous delivery in a fast‑moving environment
- A natural coach and mentor, with a proven ability to uplift others’ skills and foster inclusive collaboration
- A strategic mindset with strong communication skills, able to influence and partner with engineering, product, and leadership stakeholders
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a visionary Quality Engineering Architect to elevate our testing and automation practices and champion a culture of quality across engineering teams
- This role isn’t about gatekeeping, it’s about guiding. You’ll shape how we think about testing, coach teams on automation strategy, and partner closely with platform leads and DevOps to architect the path toward continuous deployment
- If you’re driven by purposeful collaboration and energised by making systems more resilient and delivering more seamless, let’s build the future of quality together
- You’ll join our Quality Engineering team, a group of passionate engineers and strategists who are shaping how we build and release software at scale
- This is a highly collaborative, cross‑functional group working with platform teams, DevOps, and product leads to bring world‑class quality to every release
- Our team members are distributed across several countries, and we’ve embraced asynchronous ways of working—your work‑life balance and focus time are important to us. Regular stand‑ups and technical discussions happen during overlapping hours, ensuring that time zones won’t hold you back from making an impact
- Define the “how” of quality: Lead the design of testing strategies, frameworks, and tooling that embed quality at every stage of development, from ideation to release
- Coach and enable: Partner with cross‑functional engineering teams, helping them level up in automation, exploratory testing, test design, and observability
- Architect for scale: Select tools and approaches that support mobile and cross‑platform development, balancing speed with resilience and scalability
- Drive strategic quality initiatives: Work closely with engineering, product, and platform leaders to advance our roadmap toward continuous deployment and safer, faster releases
- Champion a culture of quality: Inspire and enable engineers through workshops, guilds, and storytelling, connecting testing to customer trust and product excellence
Application process
- An introductory call with someone from our Talent Acquisition or the Head of QA to learn more about your background, interests, and why you’d like to join Goodnotes
- A live technical session with one of our senior engineers to explore how you solve real‑world problems and collaborate on design ideas
- A short assignment to present in a one‑hour interview with your hiring manager (Head of Quality Engineering) to discuss your vision, growth, and how you can thrive here
- A 45-minute call with our VP of Engineering with behavioural questions about Technical leadersh
- A one‑hour call with 2–3 stakeholders you’d work closely with across engineering and product
- Note: Employment is contingent upon successful completion of background checks, including verification of employment, education, and criminal records

Our take
Goodnotes is a digital note-taking tool for handwritten notes and (formerly) paper-based information. Thanks to its signature vector ink engine, the app delivers a precise and natural writing experience. It can read handwriting (even the worst handwriting) and allow users to search it, as well as convert it to text for easy sharing into other apps or even web pages. Goodnotes also supports importing, searching, and navigation through PDF, PowerPoint, Word, image files, and more.
The platform is available across iPhone, iPad and Mac. One of the leading note-taking solutions on the App Store (with over 14,000 positive reviews) it competes with apps like Notability and Paper by WeTransfer. Founded in Hong Kong, Goodnotes now operates across the UK and with a number of new features and acquisitions, its proving a powerhouse in digital productivity.
